Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Also made from 100% Grenache, the 2012 Vina Borgia was fermented and aged in stainless steel. Its medium dark ruby color is followed by abundant notes of strawberries and black cherries offered in a straightforward, medium-bodied, soft, hedonistic, round style. It is hard to believe a wine this good can sell for $7 a bottle. Enjoy it over the next 1-2 years."
My review: The nose was overwhelming. It gave off aromas of cherries, but also strong alcohol and dryness. This wine had a more fruity nose than most grenaches. As for taste, it had a cherry taste, but was flat from the start to finish and also dry. I would not recommend this wine.
